| Reverse description | Standing figures of Asclepius and Hygieia occupy the reverse field in a bilateral composition. To the left, Asclepius stands facing with head turned to the right, holding his characteristic serpent-entwined staff (caduceus-like rod). To the right, Hygieia stands facing with head turned to the left, holding a patera extended over an Egyptian-style altar and a branch; the pairing reflects the Alexandrian synthesis of Greek healing deities with local religious practice. The regnal year date appears in the field in Greek numerals. |
